You will now have engine bay envy.

So I wasn't happy with the original spray job I did on my engine bay 3 years ago. I used Duplicolor spray but I didn't really last. So I had some nice quality PPG 9Z silver metallic mixed up in a spray can and resprayed the sides, back, and front of the engine bay. I also re decaled everything. I think it looks pretty good;)

Very nice! That's amazingly clean, you should be proud of yourself. I bet you logged some serious time getting it looking that good.

The car is a cruise night/car show driver so I have no problem keeping it that clean since it's not a daily driver ;)

You mean crack ;)


Actually I've found that simple green does a great job of cleaning engine bay grime.

Simple Green does a pretty good job, but if you want something even better, try S100. You can pick the stuff up from your local motorcycle shop. It's made to clean every part of a motorcycle, so not only does it cut the grease and oil, but it won't damage anything.
